Ingredients

• 4 cups, thinly sliced green cabbage
• 2 cups, thinly sliced red cabbage
• 1 cup, grated carrots
• 1 cup, chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 medium, finely chopped (optional) jalapeño
• 2 medium, juiced lime
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cabbage. Wash and thinly slice 4 cups of green cabbage and 2 cups of red cabbage. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for consistent slices.

Step 2

Peel and grate 1 cup of carrots. You can do this by hand using a box grater or using a food processor with a shredding disc.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced green and red cabbage, grated carrots, and 1 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 4

If you prefer a bit of heat, add one medium jalapeño, finely chopped. Be sure to remove the seeds if you want to lessen the spiciness.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the juice of 2 medium limes, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together with tongs or a large spoon until the vegetables are well coated in the dressing.

Step 7

Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This salad can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or use as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or grilled meats.
